Hydrosol (or hydrolat or floral water) is a water-based liquid that carries the essential oil by distillation. This aromatic water contains the very essence of everything within the plant when it was still alive and growing.
During the distillation process, the flowers, leaves, fruits or roots of the plant are placed it in a distiller, heat it and extract the vapor. After passing through the herbs, the steam is condensed back into water-soluble parts of the plants.
While hydrosol is more supercharged with active principles than the essential oil from the plant. This ready-to-use product offers a safe and convenient way to deliver many therapeutic and cosmetic benefits.
